The Furling Genoa is a sail that overlaps the mast. These sails often have a foot length from 115% to 165% of the Yachts J length. Used for light air sailing when full power is required. On cruising yachts a Genoa is often polled out for extra downwind performance. For customers doing long ocean passages Downwind Genoa’s are available constructed from lighter materials for ease of handling. On a Lidgard Furling Genoa U.V sun protection and luff flatteners are available options.
